You can split them up and add them to other healthy hives to clean up. If you don't have enough other hives, you can place them outside in the sun. Direct exposure to sun will prevent wax moths from destroying the comb.

You can freeze a few frames at a time in whatever freezer space you have (48 hours minimum freeze time) and then put them in some tightly sealed container.

.....The greatest changes occur in their country without their cooperation. They are not even aware of precisely what has taken place. They suspect it; they have heard of the event by chance. More than that, they are unconcerned with the fortunes of their village, the safety of their streets, the fate of their church and its vestry. They think that such things have nothing to do with them, that they belong to a powerful stranger called “the government.” They enjoy these goods as tenants, without a sense of ownership, and never give a thought to how they might be improved.....

Extreme cold or extreme heat will kill most anything. I assume it’s pretty hot in NJ at this point. I haven’t tried it yet, but adding heat to a hive in the summer may kill off the moths. Might be an interesting science experiment too :-D

Freeze them somehow. But remember, you have to let them dry off before bagging them or sticking them into a tub for storage. When they warm up, they will sweat. That is how frames turn green/ grey real fast. And bees can clean up wax moth problems real fast.

Adamant.Just a suggestion. I have never tried this.Put a frame with moths on it into a large plastic sandwich bag and squeeze most of the air out of it. Take a Propane torch and squirt the bag full of Propane. It is heavier than air and will drive the oxygen out of the bag. Seal the bag and let it set someplace for a day or two. If the moths and the larva quit moving, they are probably dead. If it works, PM me and let me know.RegardsJoe

If you put a match to that baggie filled with propane they are goners for sure!

"In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag...We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...And we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."
